Hazana Anderson’s mother was initially reported missing during a trip to a park by her mom – but police now say they believe Tiaundra Christon and her boyfriend Kenny Hewett murdered the two year-old (Picture: KBTX)

But police documents seen by KBTX say Hewett battered Hazana on the evening of her death while Christon went to fetch them food, ‘causing whelps to her legs, arms and face.’

They claim that Hewett then told his girlfriend to join in the punishment, with Christon battering Hazana several times, before Hewett took over again.

On realizing the toddler was unconscious, they took her to a bathtub in a bid to revive her, it is alleged.

The pair are then said to have attempted to reawaken Hazana with a hairdryer, but only succeeded in burning Hazana’s skin, according to notes taken during a police interview with Christon.

Christon reportedly claimed to have put Hazana’s body in the trunk of her car for three days, before putting the toddler’s corpse in a trash bag, tying a rock to it and dumping it in a lake in Texas City, where it was discovered last Wednesday.

She reported the tot missing five days after dumping her body, it is claimed.

Witnesses who were in the park when Christon said Hazana disappeared claim to have seen no sign of a child around the time Hazana is supposed to have visited.

Cops subsequently found a woman’s handbag in a nearby trash can, which contained a baby doll dressed in Hazana’s clothing.

That discovery led to Christon being arrested for filing a false report, with subsequent cellphone investigations linking Hewett to Hazana’s disappearance.

Both currently face tampering with a corpse charges, and remain in jail on a combined $1.25million bond.
